This is because herd immunity limits diseases from existing in the general population so people who do not have vaccines‚ are not exposed to them. However‚ vaccination rates must be above 95 percent in order to provide stable herd immunity (Pearson 1). This is why it is necessary for

The Lymphatic System And Immunity The cells‚ tissues‚ and organs of the lymphatic system play a central role in the body’s defenses against a variety of pathogens‚ or disease-causing organisms. Acts against environment hazards‚ various pathogens‚ and internal threats. Lymphocytes (primary cell) are vital to or overcoming infection and disease. Lymphocytes respond to invading pathogens‚ abnormal body cells‚ and foreign proteins. They act to eliminate these threats or render them harmless
